Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 medium Apple (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 even slices, about 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush each side lightly with olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for about 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
Thinly slice the onion and apple. Try to keep slices uniform for even cooking.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until they begin to soften and turn translucent.
Add the sliced apple to the skillet, along with the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is golden brown and caramelized.
Cut the Brie into thin slices that will fit on the baguette pieces.
Top each toasted baguette slice with a slice of Brie, followed by a spoonful of the caramelized apple and onion mixture.
Place the assembled bruschetta back into the oven for 3-4 minutes, just until the Brie begins to melt.
Remove from the oven, garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired, and serve warm.
